Tulsa, OK - These three Ford/Boardman Snorkels were delivered in 1963. There was one 65 (far left) and two 75 jobs, assigned when new to Ladders 6 (at 22s), 4 (at 7s), and 1 (at 1s). All had 534 gas V8s, manual transmissions, air brakes, Penetrator sirens, and a full complement of ground ladders. All were identically equipped except for the 65-footer, which for some reason had Federal #17 beacons while the other two had #173s. The 65 rig was sold in the late 1970s, while the other two were refurbished and remounted by Pierce on Arrow chassis in the early 1980s. One was wrecked in the early 1990s and received a new Dash enclosed cab as part of her rebuild. All are long gone. (SL collection)
